The National Working Committee, NWC, of the All Progressives Congress, APC, on Sunday ordered the Tudun Wada ward of the party in Kaduna State to lift the suspension placed on the Senator representing Kaduna Central senatorial district, Shehu Sani.
The NWC directed the ward chairman and other party officials in the state to implement the directive with a view to complimenting the peace efforts being made by the national leadership of the party to restore peace in the state chapter of the party.
This was contained in a statement signed by the Acting National Publicity Secretary of the APC, Yekini Nabena, in Abuja, on Sunday.
The statement read, “The National Secretariat has received the news of the suspension of Senator Shehu Sani by the Tudun Wada Ward chairman and wish to clarify that the purported suspension of Distinguished Senator Shehu Sani representing Kaduna Central Senatorial District is hereby lifted and he is confirmed as a bona fide member and leader of our party.
“The Chairman Kaduna State Chapter has been directed to inform the relevant Ward and Local Government chapters appropriately and also put the necessary mechanism (in place) towards complementing the efforts of the National leadership towards ensuring lasting peace and unity in the party.”
Punch reports that Sani, who had threatened to leave the APC, did not follow through with the threat in response to interventions by top party leaders, including the APC National Chairman, Adams Oshiomhole.
